A priori estimates of the generalized solutions of nonlinear parabolic systems of higher order (Q1120065)

The authors investigate the following system of equations \[ \frac{\partial u^ k}{\partial t}+\sum_{| \alpha | \leq m}(- 1)^{| \alpha |}D_ x^{\alpha}a^ k_{\alpha}(x,t,u,...,D^ m_ xu)=0,\quad k=1,...,N \] in a region \(Q_ T=\Omega \times [0,T]\), \(\Omega \subseteq R^ n\) bounded. They obtain a priori estimates of generalized solutions \(u^ k\in V^{m,0}_{q,2}(Q_ T)\), \((k=1,...,N)\) of the form \[ (i)\quad \sum^{N}_{k=1}\int_{R^ 1} \int_{R^ 1} \int_{\Omega}| \Delta_ t(h)[\tilde u^ k(x,t)o(x,t)]/h|^ 2dx dt dh<c_ 1, \] where \(\Delta_ t(h)\phi (x,t)=\phi (x,t+h)-\phi (x,t),\) \(\omega \in C^{\infty}\) is an arbitrary function and \(\tilde u^ k=u^ k\) in \(Q_ T\), \(\tilde u^ k=0\) elsewhere; \[ (ii)\quad \int_{Q'}[V(x,t;h)]^{q-2}\sum^{N}_{k=1}\sum_{| \alpha | =m}| \Delta_ t(\quad h)D_ x^{\alpha}u^ k|^ 2 dx dt\leq c_ 2h^{\delta /m}, \] where \[ V(x,t;h)=1+\sum^{N}_{k=1}\sum_{| \alpha | \leq m}(| D_ x^{\alpha}u^ k(x,t)| +\quad | D_ x^{\alpha}u^ k(x,t+h)|), \] \(Q'\subset Q_ T\) is such that \(dist(\partial Q_ T,Q')\geq d>0,\) \(h\in (0,d/2)\) and \(\delta\) depends on m, q and n; \[ (iii)\quad \int^{t_ 1}_{t_ 0} \int_{\Omega '}(1+\sum^{N}_{k=1}\sum_{| \alpha | \leq m}| D\quad_ x^{\alpha}u^ k|)^{qs}dx dt\leq c_ 3, \] where \({\bar \Omega}{}'\subset \Omega\), \(0<t_ 0<t_ 1<T\) and \(s>1\).
